Steel and masonry are rising above the sidewalk for the new residential development at 3739 North Clifton Avenue in the Wrigleyville section of Lake View. What at first resembled goal posts, as one passerby opined, at the front of the lot now looks a little less stark as brick and block work start to rise with it.
According to its page on the Over The Rainbow website, Lakeview Landing will be open by the end of this month. And by walking around the exterior, it certainly looks like it will be on time for that debut. The finishing touches are being added for the 37 residential units as fall arrives.
A modern addition to a vintage Chicago greystone at 3731 North Sheffield Avenue is rounding into form in the Wrigleyville neighborhood. The new four-story portion, permitted in August of last year at a reported cost of $2.5 million, has completed exterior masonry work and installed its windows. Work remains to be done to terraces on all four levels.
A demolition permit was issued on Friday, August 1 for a vintage greystone building at 3627 North Sheffield Avenue in Wrigleyville. That marks the third and final teardown to make room for a new residential development on the site that used to fill rooftops with Cubs fans peering over the right-field bleachers of Wrigley Field to watch baseball games.
The tiered seating has been torn from the rooftop at 3633 North Sheffield Avenue in Wrigleyville, as demolition gets underway for the second of three buildings just beyond Wrigley Field’s right field bleachers. 3631 North Sheffield, famous for the TORCO sign that adorned its rooftop, has already been torn down. To its south, 3627 North Sheffield will meet the same fate, though its demolition permit has not yet been issued. 3633 met its fate after a demo permit was issued April 23rd.
